TREESTAND SAFETY WARNINGS
Please read the following instruction manual and warnings labels completely before utilizing this product. Failure to understand and execute the instructions
and warnings may result in serious injury or death. In the event of an accident, have a plan for rescue, including the use of devices that may be easily reached
while suspended.
ALWAYS read and understand all warnings and instructions and use all safety products provided before each use of this product. Failure to read and
understand all warnings and instructions may result in serious injury or death. Contact a Customer Service Representative with any questions you may have.
NEVER exceed total weight limit of 300 lbs. DO NOT use if your combined weight with all of your hunting gear and any accessories exceeds 300 lbs. Use of
tree stand over the weight limit may result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT use this tree stand while under the influence of alcohol, medication or any illegal substances. Use of tree stand while under the influence of any of
these substances may result in serious injury or death.
NEVER use this treestand during inclement weather. DO NOT use tree stand during thunderstorms, snowstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes or any other weather
conditions that include (but not limited to) lightning, icy conditions, or high winds that could create slippery or dangerous situations. End your hunt and return to
the ground if inclement weather conditions arise.
NEVER use treestand If you are feeling ill, nauseous, dizzy or if you have a prior condition that could cause a problem. i.e., heart condition, joints that lock-up
spinal fusions, etc., or if you are not well rested and alert. Physical ailments can reduce your ability to safely install, utilize, and remove your treestand. Please
consult a physician prior to use.
NEVER use this tree stand if you have a history of health problems such as (but not limited to) heart problems, back problems, high blood pressure, impaired
vision, equilibrium impairments, are afraid of heights, have been advised by a doctor or physician not to climb. If you are not physically fit, well rested, and
alert, or if you have any other physical or mental condition that would impair your ability to properly use this treestand.
NEVER use this tree stand on a tree that is dead, leaning, diseased, loose barked or on a utility pole as the tree may fall, break, or uproot and may result in
serious injury or death. NEVER rely on a branch for support.
NEVER jump or bounce on the treestand’s platform or ladder sections to seat it to the tree. Instead, step firmly on the first rung of the bottom ladder section to
set the ladder into the ground before proceeding to climb the ladder.
NEVER transport any of your equipment with yourself while ascending or descending the tree. You will need to have two hands free during ascending and
descending for safety. Use a haul line to pull up your firearm (unloaded, chamber opened with safety lock engaged, barrel facing towards the ground), bows,
arrows, knives or any other equipment to your tree stand once you have reached your desired hunting height. ONLY pull up hunting equipment after the tree
stand has been secured to the tree and after you and your harness have been secured to the tree. Prior to descending, lower your equipment on the opposite
side of the tree from which you are climbing. Make sure that the unloaded firearm’s safety lock is engaged and the gun barrel is pointing towards the ground.
ALWAYS hunt with a plan and a buddy. Before you leave home, let others know your exact location, when you plan to return and who is with you.
ALWAYS carry emergency signal devices such as a cell phone, walkie-talkie, whistle, signal flare, PLD (personal location device) and flashlight with you at all
times and within reach even while you are suspended in your harness. Watch for changing weather conditions. In the event of an accident, remain calm and
seek help immediately.
ALWAYS inspect the tree stand and the Fall Arrest System (FAS) (Harness) for signs of wear or damage BEFORE each use. Also inspect to ensure that nuts
and bolts are secure. Pay special attention to the harness and straps, guaranteeing that nothing has been frayed or severed. Destroy all products that cannot
be repaired by the manufacturer. Contact a Customer Service Representative for replacement parts. The Fall Arrest System MUST be discarded and replaced
after a fall has occurred.
DO NOT ATTACH YOUR FULL BODY HARNESS TO YOUR TREESTAND.
NEVER modify your treestand in any way by making repairs, replacing parts, or altering adding or attaching anything to it except if explicitly authorized in
writing by the manufacturer. Improper installation or adjustment may cause serious injury or death. Remove all contents from box. Inspect for any damaged or
missing parts. If any parts are missing or damaged, you must only use certified replacement parts. Using any other replacement parts will
void product warranty. THERE ARE NO EXTRA PARTS. All parts MUST be used to ensure the safety of you and your stand. If you think parts are missing or
damaged, STOP IMMEDIATELY and contact our Customer Service Department. Using the tree stand with missing or damaged parts may result in serious
injury or death. DO NOT return this product to the retailer. Contact a Customer Service Representative if you have any missing, damaged or extra parts.

TREESTAND SAFETY WARNINGS
NEVER adjust your stand while in use. Practice the attachment of this treestand at ground level before using in a hunting environment. ALWAYS ensure that
you and your treestand are safely secured to a healthy tree. Your tree stand MUST be attached tightly to the tree and secured in place. If the stand is not secure,
it may shift while in use, resulting in serious injury or death.
The Installation Cross Straps and Stabilizer Bar(s) MUST be properly installed before each use of the treestand.
ALWAYS inspect every ladder section connection every time you use the stand before you leave the ground. If ladder sections are separating, with the help of at
least two other people, lower the stand to the ground, make adjustments, and reinstall.
ALWAYS check the ground below the tree stand to make sure it is firm and level. Sloping ground or uneven terrain (one side of a rock or root) can cause your
tree stand to tilt or shift.
ALWAYS maintain three points of contact when climbing the tree stand. (Two feet and one hand or one foot and two hands.)
ALWAYS lean forward as you climb and attach your harness to the tree before securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto the platform.
DO NOT leave your treestand outside since weather or animals may cause damage. Tree growth can also cause stress and damage straps and buckles. It must
be stored inside when not in use.
NEVER wear jewelry or loose fitting clothing, which can cause hazardous conditions. Clothing may be caught in your equipment and cause you to fall. You must
always wear non-slip or rubber boots. Shoelaces must be tucked into your boots. Rings and necklaces MUST NOT be worn.
NEVER use this treestand with a second person. The treestand is designed for use by ONE
person.
NEVER let children play with or use this treestand without adult supervision. This treestand is not a toy. No one under the age of 18 should attempt to use this
product without direct adult supervision.
DO NOT use tree stand if any nuts or bolts or parts are loose, bent, or crooked.
ALWAYS know your physical limitations. Don’t take chances. If you start thinking about how high you are, don’t go any higher. Instead, choose a minimum
height that will allow for safe, effective and comfortable hunting.
ALWAYS lean forward towards the tree as you climb and attach your harness to the tree BEFORE securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto the
platform. NEVER lean out from the treestand for any reason.
ALWAYS wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) (Harness) consisting of a full body safety harness after leaving the ground. A TMA Certified Full Body Harness MUST
always be connected to yourself and the tree during ascending, hunting and descending. Single safety belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed and
should NEVER be used. If you are not wearing a Full Body Harness properly attached to the tree, that is protecting you from a fall, DO NOT leave the ground.
Failure to wear your Full Body Harness may result in serious injury or death.
Be aware that falls can occur at anytime after leaving the ground.
ALWAYS read and understand the manufacturer’s Warnings, expiration date (if applicable) and instructions on how to use and how to properly adjust the
harness. Practice the use of a full body safety harness at ground level in the presence of a responsible adult to experience the feeling of hanging suspended
before using in a hunting environment. Failure to follow harness instructions may result in not being able to return to the stand and being suspended in a
harness after a fall, or serious injury or possibly death. If the hunting location is unknown by anyone and communication efforts are unsuccessful, you MUST
have a personal plan for rescue/escape because prolonged suspension in a harness may be fatal. It is important to exercise the legs by pushing against the tree
or doing other forms of continuous leg exercises to avoid blood pooling while being suspended. Hunters with varying degrees of physical fitness may require
different plans to recover/escape the effects of prolonged suspension. Have a personal plan and practice it in the presence of a responsible adult before leaving
the ground. No one escape/rescue plan will work for every hunter on every tree in every circumstance. Only you can determine the best recovery/escape plan
for your situation before leaving the ground.
ALWAYS have a suspension relief device on your person and readily accessible while using a harness. These devices allow the user to relieve the load on the
lower extremities if suspended in a harness and help maintain circulation in the legs, mitigate suspension trauma (blood pooling) or allow descent to the ground.
Several optional products/systems are available that offer self-recovery or self-extraction from a fall when suspended in a harness. Some systems automatically
descend the user while others allow user control. One of these products/systems can be considered for use as an additional safety precaution against prolonged
suspension and suspension trauma, Be sure to follow the manufacturers’ instructions on the safe use of these products/systems.
Hunt from the ground when self-recovery escape is absent. There is time to make a correct decision on what action to take if a fall occurs while wearing a full
body harness. It is important to remember “DO NOT PANIC.” Remain calm and implement your practiced rescue, relief and recovery plan.
NEVER allow the tether strap to get under your chin or around our neck. The length of the harness tether MUST be minimized at all times. It should be adjusted
so that it is above the head with no slack (snug) in the sitting position and you should have the minimum amount of slack possible when climbing.

CHOOSING A SAFE TREE
• ALWAYS thoroughly inspect the tree before installing your product. DO NOT install your TREE/LADDER STAND onto any dead or unsafe tree, telephone or utility
pole, structural column, or man-made structure. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
• ALWAYS select the proper tree for use with your TREE/LADDER STAND. Select a live straight tree that fits within size limits recommended (minimum tree
diameter must be no less than 9 inches and maximum of 18 inches.). DO NOT rely on a branch for support.
• DO NOT select a tree in the dark or choose a tree in close proximity to a fence. You must not have any stumps or rocks beneath your tree.
• NEVER use TREE/LADDER STAND on a tree that is dead, diseased , leaning or on wet and uneven ground as the tree may fall, break or uproot.
• Your tree must not be wet, icy or slippery or on wet, swampy, or loose ground that allows the tree to be unstable. Check the ground under TREE/LADDER STAND
to ensure it is firm and level.
• Be sure you have a level stand platform. Your tree must not lean or have any irregular shape.
• Tree must not have any loose or scaly bark or excessive vines, nails, screws, or any other sharp objects protruding that may sever webbing on product. Any
surrounding trees must not lean or have dead limbs that may fall onto you or your product.
• NEVER HURRY!! HURRYING CAUSES ACCIDENTS!! While climbing a TREE/LADDER STAND, make slow, even movements no more that ten to twelve inches
at a time. Make sure you have proper contact with tree and/or TREE/LADDER STAND every time you move. On ladder tree stand, ALWAYS maintain three points
of contact with each step and ALWAYS lean forward as you climb.
Several treestands are equipped with a footrest, armrests and/or shooting rail. Neither the footrest, armrests nor the shooting rail have been designed to
support a user’s weight. Under NO circumstances should you place more than fifteen (15) pounds of weight on these structures. Doing so will put the user
in serious risk of injury or death.
PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Inspect for defects (damage, rot, corrosion, cracks, freezing, excessive heat, etc.) before every use is required. Do not use if damage is detected or
suspected.
• We recommend replacing all hardware/cables/nuts/bolts/clips on your tree stand every two (2) years or sooner if inspection finds it necessary. Use only
Primal Vantage approved replacement straps and parts. Use of any other straps or parts, will be viewed as a modification to the product. Any modification
will void the warranties and relieve Primal Vantage from all liabilities. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
• By registering your product, you may be enrolled in our discount program.
You may receive a 20% off coupon for our website store, www.primal-store.com to purchase replacement parts in the future.
• DO NOT overtighten the hardware. DO NOT use a socket wrench. This can lead to structural damage and may negatively affect the performance of your
stand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
